The butterfly is shown close up while resting on a flower. Daisies and grass grow around it, with stems rising from the lower edge and flowers continuing beyond the sides of the scene. Its broad wings make the red admiral the central subject among the garden plants.
Fascinating red admiral facts
Red admirals are strong fliers and may travel long distances as seasons change. Adults often drink nectar from flowers, but they can also feed on tree sap or juice from overripe fruit. When resting with closed wings, their mottled undersides provide useful camouflage.
